Summary

Figueroa Street Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 400 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, and it stands out as a remarkable success story of dramatic improvement in its neighborhood.

Over the last decade, the school has transformed from one of the lowest-performing in the state to ranking above average, now in the 59th percentile. This impressive academic climb, especially in mathematics where it beats district and state averages, coincides with an extraordinary drop in chronic absenteeism from over 60% to just 8.4%, a rate much lower than most nearby schools like Woodcrest Elementary or One Hundred Seventh Street Elementary. The school is particularly effective in supporting English Language Learners and students from low-income families, ranking in the 97th and 74th percentiles for these groups respectively.

While Figueroa Street is a strong performer, it shares some similarities with the highest-ranking nearby school, One Hundred Twenty-Second Street Elementary (63rd percentile), including very low absenteeism. Challenges remain, such as declining test scores in the upper grades and science proficiency that lags behind other subjects. Compared to the local charter school, Watts Learning Center, Figueroa Street achieves similar results with a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending.
